Due to the importance of role models in youth and media coverage of athletes, the aim of this research was to analyze the significance and characteristics of sports role models and the existence of gender patterns in elementary school students. Research sample consisted of 468 students aged 11-15. Sports role models were analyzed using a modified questionnaire of Adriansee & Crosswhite [2008]. Research results indicated that most respondents (80.8%) had role models. Role models belong to different domains with the highest proportion of famous athletes (31.5%) and family members (30.4%). Gender of the respondents was significantly correlated with selection of the role model, with sports role models being selected more often by males (49.2%) than by females (22.5%). Within the category of sports role models, famous athletes were highly predominant (88.1%), and most of them were males and foreign sports stars. Since adolescence is a period when future preferences for physical activities are developed, it is important to exploit all possible ways of supporting the youth to develop a healthy life style, where sports role models can have a significant influence.

The research reveals a profile of reflective thinking of elementary school students in problem solving fractions based on his mathematical abilities. The instruments used in data collection is Test Problem Solving (TPM), interview. Selection of research subjects in a way given test is based on the ability of mathematics, namely mathematical skills of high, medium and low and further categorized and taken at least 2 people to serve as subjects. The research objective is: describe the profile of reflective thinking that math skills of elementary school students High, medium, and low. Based on the results of the study found reflective thinking profile and high ability students were as follows: (a) the step to understand the problems students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (B) the planned step problem solving students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (C) on measures to implement the plan in terms of information/knowledge or data used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal), could explain what has been done, realized the error and fix it, and communicate ideas with a symbol or image, and (d) the checking step back, namely information/knowledge or data that is used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done.

The purpose of this study was to test the effects of healthy life practice (HLP) education on reported health behaviors, including health promotion, disease prevention, and safety among fourth-grade elementary school students. A quasi-experimental, pretest/posttest design was used. The 101 recruited participants from two schools were assigned to the intervention group ( n = 51) that received 10 health education sessions and the control group ( n = 50) that did not receive the intervention. Significant differences in health behaviors were observed between the two groups ( t = 2.563, p = .012), specifically for disease prevention ( t = 2.178, p = .032) and safety ( t = 2.711, p = .008). However, no significant between-group differences were observed in health promotion ( t = .270, p = .788). Educational interventions aimed at changing HLP-related health behaviors may be effective for elementary schoolchildren.

In recent years we have applied mental skills training for child athletes, kindergarten and elementary school students, and children attempting to overcome serious illnesses. Key elements that have been associated with our most successful interventions include the use of simple, concrete strategies, an element of fun, positive individualized approaches, the use of role models, and involving parents. It is our belief that every child will experience growth, and some degree of success, if someone who cares devotes time to nurturing important mental skills related to personal development.
